  The long-awaited reissue of Alice Coltrane’s original spiritual teachings and reflections, which provide powerful insight into her transcendent music, cherished by millions across the globe.  
  ALICE COLTRANE (1937–2007) was a composer, master of various musical instruments, improviser, spiritual leader, and wife of John Coltrane. Throughout her adult life, she worked within and combined a broad range of musical genres, including gospel, R&B, bebop, free jazz, Indian devotional song, and Western art music. She recorded more than twenty full-length albums for Impulse and Warner Bros. Her music speaks to her experiences as a child playing for church congregations in Detroit; the transcendent and mind-bending avant-garde improvisations she performed with her husband John Coltrane; and her religious pilgrimages to India.  
  When Monument Eternal was originally published in 1977, Alice Coltrane was living in Southern California and had recently become a swami, building and nurturing an alternative spiritual community. In these pages, she says that the book is “based upon the soul’s realizations in Absolute Consciousness and its spiritual relationships with the Supreme One.” Monument Eternal offers deep insight into Coltrane’s tremendous musical output and shines a light on her transformation from Alice McLeod, Detroit church organist and bebopper, to sage thought leader Swami Turiyasangitananda. It also reflects the extraordinary fluidity of American religious customs in the mid- and late-twentieth century.  
  Akashic’s long-awaited reissue of Monument Eternal includes a new foreword by Ashley Kahn.

  Unraveling Faculty Burnout -...

  Faculty often talk about how busy, overwhelmed, and stressed they are. These qualities are seen as badges of honor in a capitalist culture that values productivity above all else. But for many women in higher education, exhaustion and stress go far deeper than end-of-the-semester malaise. Burnout, a mental health syndrome caused by chronic workplace stress, is endemic to higher education in a patriarchal, productivity-obsessed culture. In this unique book for women in higher education, Rebecca Pope-Ruark, PhD, draws from her own burnout experience, as well as collected stories of faculty in various roles and career stages, interviews with coaches and educational developers, and extensive secondary research to address and mitigate burnout. Pope-Ruark lays out four pillars of burnout resilience for faculty members: purpose, compassion, connection, and balance. Each chapter contains relatable stories, reflective opportunities and exercises, and advice from women in higher education.Blending memoir, key research, and reflection opportunities, Pope-Ruark helps faculty not only address burnout personally but also use the tools in this book to eradicate the systemic conditions that cause it in the first place. As burnout becomes more visible, we can destigmatize it by acknowledging that women are not unraveling; instead, women in higher education are reckoning with the productivity cult embedded in our institutions, recognizing how it shapes their understanding and approach to faculty work, and learning how they can remedy it for themselves, their peers, and women faculty in the future.

  In this groundbreaking biography, Mary Frances Phillips immerses listeners in the life and legacy of Ericka Huggins, a revered Black Panther Party member, as well as a mother, widow, educator, poet, and former political prisoner. In 1969, the police arrested Ericka Huggins along with Bobby Seale and fellow Black Panther Party members, who were accused of murdering Alex Rackley. This marked the beginning of her ordeal, as she became the subject of political persecution and a well-planned FBI COINTELPRO plot. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on never-before-seen archival sources, including prison records, unpublished letters, FBI records, and oral histories, Phillips foregrounds the paramount role of self-care and community care in Huggins's political journey, shedding light on Ericka's use of spiritual wellness practices she developed during her incarceration. In prison, Huggins was able to survive the repression and terror she faced while navigating motherhood through her unwavering commitment to spiritual practices. In showcasing this history, Phillips reveals the significance of spiritual wellness in the Black Panther Party and Black Power movement.

  MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING - An...

  Viktor Frankl

  Man’s Search for Meaning is a book published in 1946 by Austrian psychiatrist Viktor Frankl. It is an autobiographical and psychological work in which the author recounts his experiences in Nazi concentration camps during World War II and the development of his theory of logotherapy. 
  Through his experience, Frankl argues that the primary driving force in human beings is not the pursuit of pleasure (as Freud claimed) nor the will to power (as Adler maintained), but the search for meaning in life. 
  The book is divided into three parts:Experiences in a Concentration Camp – where he recounts the horrors he lived through in Auschwitz and Dachau.Logotherapy in a Nutshell – where he explains the foundations of his psychological theory.Postscript 1984: The Case for Tragic Optimism – a reflection on the human attitude toward suffering. 
  Throughout the book, Frankl argues that even in the most extreme conditions, human beings can find a purpose that enables them to survive. 
  Man’s Search for Meaning is a deeply inspiring work that blends autobiography with existential psychology. Through his time in the concentration camps, Viktor Frankl shows that human beings can endure any suffering if they find a purpose in their lives. His theory of logotherapy offers a unique approach to confronting existential emptiness and suffering. 
  Frankl leaves us with a powerful lesson: the ultimate human freedom lies in our ability to choose our attitude in any given situation. While we may not always be able to change our circumstances, we can decide how to respond. And in that decision lies our dignity, our humanity, and our purpose. 
  Finally, his theory of logotherapy is not just a therapeutic tool, but a philosophy of life that invites us to reflect on our daily choices and the purpose we give to our existence.
